Can you compare it to something I might be familiar with - Breyers or Cold Stone? Grocery store or local specialty shop? We usually send something food for my SIL family to enjoy at Christmas because we don't see them - one of those pick your pints sets seems like a great idea. Really, really great ice cream. Their flavors inspire mix of incredulity (why didn't I think of that?!?) and amazement (of course!!!), and they are made from *real* ingredients, not artificial flavorings. Now that dd has moved, I'll have to ship us some, since we can't make the pilgrimage together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechWife Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I ordered a desktop vacuum to clean up eraser crumbs and little messes I make when crafting. It arrived today and it works well and is cute, too. This would be a good gift or stocking stuffer for a number of different people. This little volume also arrived today & would be good for a poetry lover or an aspiring poet or writer as the author is quite young. It contains one poem titled “The Hill We Climb.” Edited November 2, 2021 by TechWife 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEmama Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 For the world traveler: https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/scratch-map DS has always had a map in his rooms growing up, this will make a nice “adult” version and keepsake as well. I see a lot of travel in his future. DH and I used to trace lines on a map of North America when we were younger and took lots of road trips/moved a lot. Eventually the map looked like a giant spider web there were so many lines crisscrossing it. 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing the link, pitterpatter. I have a friend who would probably like those offerings. She has a frog that was made out of a bowling ball and metal by a local artist. I tried to find a similar image to share, but all of the bowling ball frogs I see (and, yes, that's a funny thing to say!) incorporate an uncut bowling ball. The artist who made her piece cut out a wedge from the ball to be the frog's open mouth. Rewards, Kareni 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
